How is the selection made?

The selection of the global.trex Passau scholarship program is carried out by a selection committee. Social, societal, cultural and political commitment is recognized. The best applicants are funded within the framework of global.trex Passau; the remaining applications continue to go through the regular process of the International Office for the allocation of study places at the partner universities. This means that you still have the opportunity to study abroad outside of global.trex Passau.
